The Wyatt Family: The Four Days of Halloween

Halloween for us started on Friday and lasted through Monday. The girls loved Halloween this year. They had a great time dressing up, partying, trick or treating, and of course eating candy.

Friday, Ava and Macy had their "Storybook Character Party" at school. "Storybook Character Party" is the politically correct term for "Halloween Party" at a Christian preschool. : ) Here they are in their costumes with their Cinderella and Snow White books. (We have a whole collection of these litte old school fairytale books and they LOVE them. They were excited to be able to take them to school and show their teachers and friends).

Saturday, we went to our neighborhood Halloween block party. It was a lot of fun! There was a bounce house, a fire truck and firemen, lots of yummy food, a candy hunt, and good company. We enjoyed meeting our new neighbors. So many of our neighbors are young families with kids under 5 which is perfect! Here are some pictures of the festivities.

We took a break from costumes on Sunday and then of course the real fun was on Monday. This was the first year that Ava and Macy went door to door trick or treating. They were so excited after school they could hardly stand it. When the time finally came around, we got dressed and hit the streets. I wasn't sure if they would be kind of timid about it, but they weren't. They went right up to the doors and said, "trick or treat" and even remembered to say thank you (with a few reminders). What a fun night!!
